Thread: Lack of Loot = Game Breaking

Just what the game needs, more Jeedai specific content and development time.
more content for jedi you say ? Oh please no.
Our server is filled with jedi, i think more than 75% on the server is jedi or is going for jedi.
Can you imagine what it would be if they add a themepark where only jedi can take part in ? 99% of the server goes jedi in that case.
If you're really into the whole jedi thing, you'll enjoy yourself with the stuff that is currently in the game when you are a jedi.
If you're bored as a jedi, resign your jedi skills or only play with your alt.

Not only in the movies but in other star wars games, Jedi has always crafted their own lightsabers.
This already has what it needs, a branch in the Lightsaber profession.
However, looted ITEMS needed for higher level generation of lightsabers would be awesome, rather than just having it be "rare"/specific resource types.
Not true, in the Dark Forces trilogy Luke crafts Leia her first saber. I think this was in the second book.
On topic, I agree, useful loot has been in short supply to most people. It would be a good if they made low lvl aa/ca's drop off a wider range of npc's, then everyone has the chance to improve stats. The high end people will still get to have their +25 suits but at least newer people (and people like me with limited time) will be happier even if the best we can get is a +5 suit

Combat can't be balanced if people have ubergear.
Now, in a fight, you have to rely on your SKILLS, not on some uberweapon that even a noob could use to kill anything he wants (not referring to anyone, i'm talking in general).
Oh god, I so hope devs don't bring ubergear back in the game...
But I totally agree on the loot part. These days, the only things people go hunt for is for CAs/AAs or crystals, nothing more. Devs should really do something about that...
In the most traditional aspect though, RPGs about all ABOUT having the uber gear. Yeah your skills might be similar, but putting in the time and effort to adventure and explore might yeild a weapon that allows you to defeat your similarly skilled yet under geared opponent.
oh well spoken, what point of doing anything if not to better ur self i think to much power in templates everyone no matter profession should be able to reach level of uber based on gear takes hard work to get that stuff but should also make it unsellable each person needs to make or have uber stuff crafter for em with uber in game always something to do. what kinda elite professional is so weak anyway with cl with never have those huge and fun pve fights that said lets not put in any looted complete weapons only components wow now crafters got something to always do omg did we just make game have a purpose and everending personal quest that will benifet all ... look at what all these cu wussys aka people who couldnt play worth a crap, done to our game.
thats all i gotta say oh yeah i want docs back i gained 100lbs post cu so far

Punctuation is your friend.
Too many prepubescent whiners = game breaking
Do your self a favor. Find a good guild, make friends and you will find a level of fun galaxies you never knew existed. Better than uber loot or PvP. Nobody in my guild cares who loots the bones of the Acklay or gets the Krayt pearl as there is more to a game than screwing someone over for a digital character.

I posted this in the Loot Poll thread, but I feel this is really a completely seperate issue. Do we have a "Loot" corro? Is there anyone to whom we can address this major concern?
Anyway, here is what I and many others have said:
When I load in now, as a fully temped Jedi and completed alt character, there are two main things that I am interested in doing.
PvP and Adventuring for Cool Loot
However, now when I want to go adventuring for cool loot I can not think of a single place I'd like to go or a single thing I'd like to do. I litterally stood at the star port the other night for about 45 min staring at the various planets going over in my head the places to go. Used to be some cool stuff on endor. Not so much any more. Since fighting NS takes forever and yeilds very little, thats pretty much out. The Aukkan cave is camped beyond belief. Can only hunt so many krayts before that becomes boring. They don't drop much and have a tendency to 'retreat' everytime I get the upper hand.
So now, what is there left for me? I'm not tired of my characters or my guild. I enjoy the game mechanics (the ones that aren't broken) but there really doesn't seem to be any decent loot to go adventuring for.
Loot is a KEY aspect of RPGs in general! RPGs are all about characters and loot, and right now SWG is seriously seriously hurting on loot.
Thoughts? help? DEVS? plz Tiggs respond . . .
If every lootwas not BROKE or CAMPED I guess I might be able to entertain myself a little better. New Cool USEABLE loot (other than the BH missions) would really help this game a LOT right now in addition to all the needed bug fixes, broke components from Pre-CU & Post CU, and overall new content for everyone, specially Jedi (because they make up most of the veteran player base... and deserve it) & Smugglers (who still can't Smuggle).

uber gear is ok as long as its hard to get. everyone crys about uber gear. really people who was outdamaged, their gear was not super uber. rifleman vs another template, you will lose rights. it don't take an exceptional t-21.
yeahall people are hunting for ca/aa, even through it makes very little differents. why are the prices not dropping? because there is nothing else to buy but ca/aa or some decorative item like the ns bicep. ns biceps are hitting 200 million a piece on interpid. why? because there is nothing useful to buy. i do have 6 of them

It's called sarcasm, look it up.
